svenmeier, the original bug reported here was that Poppler's pdftops is generating broken PostScript in your case foomatic-rip calls Ghostscript to turn PDF into PostScript. So I tried to isolate the problem with
pdf2ps printout where pdf2ps is a simple wrapper script which comes with Ghostscript to turn PDF into PostScript and printout is your "printout" file. The resulting PostScript is broken, easy to see with gs printout.ps This is a bug in Ghostscript upstream which I have reported now as http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692679 Please subscribe to that bug report and supply additional information if the Ghostscript develkopers ask for it. ** Bug watch added: Ghostscript (AFPL) Bugzilla #692679 http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692679 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 Title: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken ("0a" bytes inserted into PostScript output) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/419143/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
